Before leaving, Liang Chuan returned to Fengshan under the starry sky, and the ignorant Xiaocheng slept soundly in his back.
Yi Niang seemed to have known Liang Chuan's intention to return, and she was waiting quietly in front of Xiaocheng's room. Liang Chuan looked at Xiaocheng, and she looked at Liang Chuan quietly.
When I missed this man the most, I saw Liang Chuan's shadow everywhere in Xiaoxiaocheng. Those years were really difficult. How cruel this man was. After so many years, he never saw anyone alive or dead, not even a corpse. No news was sent home.
Others always said that he would never come back. The glory that God had given him in the past few years could not be retained in this world, so he had to go back to heaven to serve him.
I don’t believe this kind of nonsense. I have survived those more difficult days. I just can’t think about it anymore. Fortunately, the child has never seen his father. Otherwise, how can he survive when he misses him too? ah!
It turns out that it’s not that he doesn’t want to come back, it’s because he’s probably more miserable than his own mother and son.
"The eldest lady is a good girl!" The lights were dim, making it difficult to see her expression and happiness.
Do you still need to see it at this time? The two people's smiles are already so clear.
"I won't go if you don't let me go."
"If you don't go, I will blame you for the rest of my life!"
Hey, with a long sigh, Yi Niang also came into the house and pulled off Xiaocheng's quilt. The child was carefree. She only worried that the fish in the stream would not be big enough tomorrow and that the bird's nest on the tree would not have eggs. Dreams Here they are happy even if they are dreaming.
Liang Chuan hugged Yi Niang and whispered in her ear: "When I come back, I will never leave again. I will pay you back slowly in my life!"
On the first day of July, it started to rain lightly, and Shen Yuzhen saw Liang Chuan off alone. Liang Chuan did not inform anyone else, and the scene made Liang Chuan feel sad and uncomfortable.
Liang Chuan left Yelu Chongguang to take charge of the overall situation, and he took Yeluhan and two others in a light carriage and set off on horseback towards Bianjing. Yelu Chongguang wanted to stay at home and take charge of the overall situation. It would be difficult for others to follow him, so he only asked Yeluhan to accompany him.
Liang Chuan has never been to places other than Xinghua or Quanzhou Prefecture, and neither has Yeluhan. The two of them didn't even have a map in hand. They carried a Mo Dao on their backs and headed towards Bianjing.
Mo Dao was wrapped in linen, as if he was carrying a pole. No one would take a second look at it.
Liang Chuan even admired his courage.
Fortunately, I have enough money in my bag! Three hundred years later, Xu Xiake dared to run to Yunnan on both legs. Now that he has money and a knife, he is still afraid of a bird!
Yelu Chongguang said that there are two options for going to Bianjing, water and land. The land route is very fast, but the road there and back is dangerous and there are countless bandits and beasts. The waterway journey is extremely long, but the journey back is comfortable. In order to ensure water transportation, the court will never allow waterway damage.
Liang Chuan gave up the waterway plan without hesitation. We are in a hurry now. If we go late and the day lilies are cold, then why go?
The water route is to take Xinghua Prefecture through Lianjiang, Luoyuan County, Xiapu County and Xianxia Ridge. This road is a commercial road opened by the private sector. The road is even more difficult to walk, but once you pass Zhejiang Road, it is smooth all the way. It's no exaggeration to say that the wings can fly.
In fact, there is another road out of Fujian, and it is an official road, which is to take Jianzhou, Yanping Prefecture, Chong'an, and Fenshuiguan at the junction of Jiangxi. This has also been the mainstream road for thousands of years. However, this road has thousands of mountains and rivers, and the horse power is too much. Only the official station can carry it by constantly changing horses.
The Liangchuan route can alternate between water and land. Along it is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the miracle of Greater China. Taking this route during the day and taking a boat at night is the most time-saving and labor-saving route, and there are also good economic and residential areas along the route. There are many, and it is the safest compared to the wilderness.
Before leaving, Liang Chuan solemnly explained to Yi Niang several times the methods of planting three crops. He also went to He Baozheng to talk about increasing the supply of bamboo weaving and mosquito coils. He went directly to Yang Baxian's house. When he met Yang Baxian who was packing his luggage and preparing to go to Qingyuan, he explained all the major and minor matters of his management. After finally making arrangements for his funeral, he could go to the capital with peace of mind.
I wanted to leave quietly, but I didn't want all the folks to know about Liang Chuan's return to Fengshan!
All the people who could barely walk on the north bank came, ranging from elders in their seventies to eighties, down to toddlers who could barely walk. They were waiting spontaneously at the intersection of Fengshan to go north, laughing and crying. Waiting for Liang Chuan.
Once upon a time, when the news of Liang Chuan's disappearance reached Fengshan, He Baozheng was in a daze and didn't know how to explain it to the villagers. The village built a tomb for Liang Chuan without telling Yi Niang, and many people went to the grave to say good things to Liang Chuan secretly. Wipe away tears.
They are not people who forget their roots. Liang Chuan led them to make money and gave them a good life. No one is afraid of the hard times. How can they forget the love of their benefactor?
Liang Chuan didn't like this, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the villagers, so he had to accept it.
A table with wine and meat was set up next to the Wanda store at the intersection of Fengshan Road.
He Baozheng led Liang Chuan to worship first. There was a small shrine at the entrance of the village, a small stone temple, which worshiped the Road God.
Liang Chuan drank a few cups of Jianxing wine and filled a pot full of water from Nanxi River with a water bag. He Baozheng told Liang Chuan: "When you get to Bianjing, pour out half of the water in the pot, and then fill it with half of the water." Drink the river water in one go, so you won’t be acclimated!”
This process is required by people who leave their hometown. In addition to the blessings of relatives, there is also the blessing of gods.
The psychological comfort is greater than the actual understanding of health. If you wait until Bianjing to drink this water, you don't need to think about it. Liang Chuan knows that if he doesn't drink it for seven days and seven nights, he will not give up, and the water will definitely stink! There are a lot of microorganisms and parasites in the water itself, and now that it's summer, they're even more numerous.
However, this was the wish of the villagers. Liang Chuan looked at the eager eyes of everyone and couldn't bear to pour the water directly in front of them, so he had to accept it with a smile on his face.
Almost everyone from the north bank came. The news that Liang Chuan had conquered Qingyuan Port had spread back to Fengshan with the members of the Chengguan Brigade. The villagers were all proud and proud, with bright faces and real money in their pockets. They were all this man. You have a good head, and today's life is all thanks to this good young man. Now you can eat meat and drink wine, and your life is twice as good as before.
Liang Chuan was leaving, and He Baozheng had long known that he was definitely going there for Zheng Ruoying, and that he was not gone forever. Everyone came to see him off with sincere gratitude and respect, and hoped that he would have a safe journey and come back soon!
Liang Chuan drank eighteen bowls of rice wine in a row. The wine was fragrant and slightly cool to relieve the heat. He didn't know if he could drink it on the way, so Liang Chuan drank a few more bowls, just like drinking beer! Wu Erlang passed through Jingyanggang and had eighteen bowls in a row, but they drink strong liquor. Today I, Sanlang Bamin, will also have eighteen bowls. I hope you have a good journey!
Liang Chuan took another water bag, filled it with wine, and packed a large bag of dried meat, pointing out that these things would satisfy his cravings on the way.
One person, one horse, one knife and one jug of wine, officially embarked on the journey north!
After spending one day in Fuzhou, we arrived at Xiapu in the evening the next day. The fishing boats in Xiapu were particularly beautiful with the sunset. The orange-red sunlight reflected on the sea surface, with a feeling of attachment and attachment, and there was a beautiful feeling of fishing boats singing into the night. However, this place is not as good as Qingyuan after all. The primitive fishery is only better than farming. Most of the fishermen's houses are made of thatched sheds.
Only after passing Fuzhou can we really see why it is said that the land of Fujian is a land of barbarians. There are big mountains, and climbing over a mountain is like a dialect. There are not many fields that can be cultivated. As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains. This mountain has become a source of poverty. Because the wild beasts in the mountains can't fight, and they can't produce food, it's strange that they don't live in poverty.
The further north you go, the more desolate and miserable the scenes you see become. Is this still the prosperous and carefree Fujian in Liang Chuan's impression?
There was almost no flesh on people's faces, and all of them were sallow, thin, and had empty eyes. Yeluhan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Where were they born? It must be said that God was merciful. In a good place, life is not too bad even if you don't have to work hard; in a bad place, no matter how hard you work, you can just make a living.
It was only on the third day that we passed Xianxia Ridge. After passing this pass, we entered Zhejiang. Southern Zhejiang is mountainous and extremely poor in this era.
The two of them calculated that it was almost two days' journey to Hangzhou.
Even if you are liberated when you arrive in Hangzhou, this place has been a paradise on earth since ancient times. The fireworks alleys are green with willows and the water is white, and the West Lake is under the Leifeng Pagoda. It wants to be humane and humanistic, and the people are the most prosperous in the world.
Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal was built here, and the economy has soared. Millions of tons of grain are transported from the water to the capital Bianjing every year. The Lianghuai Salt Administration has made countless people rich. Liu Yong's works The southeast is the most beautiful place in the Three Wu Cities. Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The cities are full of jewels and the households are full of beautiful things. It turned out to be the driving force that stimulated the Jin people to go south. It can be seen how desirable the gold powder here is!
When the Sanhu case was first tried, Su Cheng and Su Bancheng were the local gangsters. This guy was crazy to go to Xinghua for a woman, but he was crazy to go to Bianjing to fight for a woman.
On the fifth day, the two finally arrived in Hangzhou and found a boat by the river. They planned to take the boat north at night to reduce the distance.
Most of the ships on the canal are cargo ships, and the ships are not small in size. They carry items such as grain and cargo, and they are a bit deep.
The boatman was sitting on the bow of the boat and saw the visitor's face suddenly glowing. He was naturally willing to accept the guest. However, he remained motionless, as if he had no intention of sending the boat. He squatted on the bow of the boat, narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait a minute." wait."
Liang Chuan was in a hurry. It was getting late and the sun had already set. What the hell were he waiting for? Are you waiting for someone to hijack the ship?
"Why hasn't the boatman sent the boat yet?"
The boatman still kept smiling, as if he had a well-thought-out plan, and said: "Just wait a moment... and the boat will be dispatched... Don't hurry!"
At this time, suddenly a young man hurried over on the shore, carrying a book basket with a small sunshade on top. In sharp contrast with the white cloth, his skin color was as black as charcoal. If it had gotten any later, Liang Chuan would have thought he had seen a ghost, and a pair of book baskets would fly in mid-air!
The scholar was running in a hurry and was out of breath. When the boatman saw the real owner coming, he beamed and said: "Little sir, hurry up and get on the boat. These guys are impatient waiting for you, let's start the boat!"
It turned out that I was waiting for this man! Liang Chuan couldn't help but look at him a few more times. What was this kid's background? He looked like a nerd. His body was about to deteriorate. He looked like he would die after running for just a few steps. I'm afraid he will inevitably suffer from physical diseases in the future. He is also a short-lived person. !
The boat set off, and looking at the lights of thousands of houses on both sides of the strait, there were actually many people doing business on the water, with all kinds of gadgets available! There are countless fireworks towers along the riverside. Girls with fluttering flowers are shouting vigorously upstairs, attracting passers-by who can't stand the evil fire to go in and have a good time.
Only here is the place that a dynasty should be. Along the way, except for Fuzhou, other places are like primitive tribes.
Liang Chuan sat in the cabin and stared at this black man with eyes as big as bull's eyes. There is a small scar like a crescent moon faintly between this boy's eyebrows. Is there such a coincidence in the world?
Heitan saw that Liang Chuan was frightened. After a while, he became frightened. He was stunned and asked Liang Chuan directly: "Why is this brother looking at me like this?"
Liang Chuan was not reserved, he opened his mouth and said: "I know someone as dark as you, brother, in our Song Dynasty. His surname is Bao! I don't know what your surname is?"
As soon as Liang Chuan said that, the scholar became even more frightened and said timidly: "My surname is Bao. How did you learn that? I don't recognize you!"
Liang Chuan was a little surprised when the person named Bao said it. He stared at him with big eyes. Liang Chuan asked weakly: "Is it possible that your surname is Bao, your last name is Zheng, and your hometown is Luzhou?"
This investigation of the family background scared Bao Zheng out of his mind. He even knew his own details. What is this?
"Who are you! What are your intentions!"
It seems that Mr. Bao Heitanbao is really a man! Liang Chuan smiled, this world is such a small place, he traveled far away and got on the same boat as a big star in history!
